Welcome!

My name, Karin, was pretty common when I was growing up...just not the spelling. Unless you are of German heritage like I am. So, I have spent my entire life answering the question, "What is your name"?... With, "Karin...with an "i"! Who knew it would come in handy all these years later when I went to name my blog.

Happy Birthday Dad

Hi Everyone,

Next week is my Dad's birthday and he is a huge, ginormous golfing fan. He didn't start playing until he retired, but it's his favorite activity now. After the long winter he's just itching to get started. So, in honor of his hobby, I grabbed this Silhouette Male Golfer stamp from DRS Designs for his birthday card.

I did the emboss resist technique on an old book page to highlight this cool stamp. The background was made using the Woven Plaid (love this stamp for a guy card) and I used the Easy Grass stamp along the bottom of the card.

I just cut the jagged grass myself and kind of crinkled it for some texture. I guess this golfer isn't so good, because this looks more like he's in the rough than on the green...lol. I finished it off with the Happy BirthdayArc for the sentiment and rounded the corners to match the all the other curves on the card.

Thanks for stopping by and it's my day at the DRS Designs blog. Here's a peek at my simple St. Patty's Day card that's being featured over there!

Karin, what a lovely card you have made here. I am sure that your dad will love it. Thank you for taking part in the Aud Sentiments Challenge this fortnight and I wish you the best of luck in the draw. Best wishes, Kym (Aud Sentiments Design Team Member) xxx
